"Ichimatsu," Kanola sighed as soon as he blinked open his eyes, still finding that he couldn't see. "your mother must be worried sick about you. It's almost midnight."

Ichimatsu tried to sit up on the sofa, but he found that his body was too heavy to do such. It's almost like all five of his brothers were sitting on top of him, weighing him down.

"Burdens, huh?" Akari asked, yawning sleepily. "Now you know how it feels, don't you?"

"Ichimatsu, how many letters did you read?" Kanola asked randomly, her voice quivering weakly as her face lost all color.

And in just seconds, she dropped to the floor, dead.

"AKARI WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Ichimatsu screamed, but then choked up a pool of blood all over the pure white blanket Kanola had given him while he was sleeping.

"I didn't do anything," Akari replied, her legs trembling as she arose to her feet. "The world is just coming to an end now."

"What..." Ichimatsu spat, wanting desperately to see clearly at that moment. He was beginning to feel more and more trapped inside his own body.

"I said," Akari sighed, "the world is coming to the end."

"What do I do then..." Ichimatsu muttered, not realizing tears were running down his cheeks.

Flashbacks of Jyushimatsu began to play through his mind. All of the sweet memories he had, were with Jyushimatsu. And now all of those memories made Ichimatsu want to kill himself.

"I never meant for things to go so wrong," Ichimatsu thought, throwing up more blood. "I only wanted us to be happy again. To feel like an actual family..instead of just strangers who live together..."

Akari pulled out her gun then sighed.

"I could use this bullet on two people right now, Ichimatsu," she said. "I could end my own misery, or I could end yours. It's not a guarantee that it will all end well. But I can guarantee that you'll be in another world. The right would."

"I don't understand what you're saying..." Ichimatsu whimpered.

"The world you were in before this one wasn't the right one," Akari said, and without another word, she pulled the trigger on her gun, shooting the last bullet at Ichimatsu.

Pain suddenly became the only thing Ichimatsu could feel as his ears began to ring. He could feel his hand growing hot and sticky from the blood that was pouring out of his chest like a waterfall.

"I'll see you soon, Ichimatsu..." Akari whispered, as Ichimatsu's world began to spin and shatter to pieces all around him as he died.

"I'm sorry I failed you, Jyushimatsu," Ichimatsu wheezed as he took his final breath.
